The offense will carry this team, because that is where the talent currently lies. Ergo, the offense is the side that needs to step up (convert late-game third downs).

For the "future", the defense needs a TON of revamping. The draft should consist of no less than 4 defensive players... in the first five round. I'd be happy with one of each of the following: NT, CB, SS, FS, OL, ILB.
